How to Keep Warm with These Winter Cocktails

When the weather gets cold outside, sometimes all we want to do is cuddle up with a flannel blanket, thick fuzzy socks and a hot drink. Warm up this winter (we heard it’s going to be a bad one!) with these easy to make cocktails that will heat you up in no time!

Pour the tea, Cointreau and honey into a coffee mug. Stir well to combine and garnish with lemon slice.

Mulled Wine – We are lovers of wine here! So we had to add this belly-warming recipe to the list!

1 bottle of red wine (like merlot)

1 peeled, sliced orange – keep peel to add to pot for a zest

¼ cup of brandy

8-10 cloves

3 cinnamon sticks

1/3 cup of honey or sugar – can be cut in half if you’re not huge on drinks that are too sweet

1 tsp. fresh ginger

Combine all ingredients in a large pot or slow cooker. Warm ingredients on medium heat – avoid boiling. Do this for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure all sugar is dissolved. When wine is steaming, ladle into mugs.

Hot Cider Toddy – one of our faves for the chilly season! It sweet, tart and warms your insides wonderfully.

2 oz. whiskey or apple brandy

1 tsp. sugar

Hot apple cider

Garnishes: cinnamon stick, lemon wedge, 2-3 whole cloves – optional

Coat the bottom of a mug with honey. Add the whiskey (or apple brandy). Fill to the top with hot cider. Stir well. Garnish with lemon, cloves and cinnamon stick.
